THS Albany Journal innocently
tells the farmers, in an article ia
voring the maintenance Of protec-
tive tariff, that if foreign countries
should in retaliation impose duties
on our grain and dairy products
such q tax would do the people Of
those countries more harm than
good. This is an undoubted truth.
And it does not alter the fact when
the rule is applied to this country.
When we tax the cheaper products
Of other countries we also do our
selves more harm than good.

SEVEN out Of the eleven Chicago
'boodlers" who were on trial for
conspiracy have been sentenced
each to two years Imprisonment,
and the other four to pay fine Of
$1,000. The punishment is not as
severe as was anticipated, although
this lightness Of condemnation may
not greatly lessen the moral effect
Of the conviction. Upon the cul
prits themselves, however, their de-
gradation seems to have had but
little moral effect, As, when waiting
for the verdict, they amused them
selves by getting shamelessly drunk.
There is not much difference be-
tween men who after betraying .
public trust become lost to all sense
q decency and the mnrderous brute
who thinks it incumbent on him to
'sdie game.
